You could get arrested. That is check fraud and illegal. You will be responsible for the amount of each bad check and many additional fees.

To continue to write checks on a closed account constitutes fraud, and may subject you to both civil and criminal charges. Fines and/or jail time may be imposed.

Writing check from an account that you have closed it is fraud. If you continue it could be a felony.

Don't. If convicted you may have trouble finding a decent apartment to rent for many years afterward. Landlords run names though public records looking for that sort of thing.
